I can't pull myself out. I am falling faster and faster.
How can I let this happen? Why is ED so convincing and strong right now?
Why can't I ignore him and listen to the good voice?
ED is winning all of the battles. I just don't have the energy anymore.
I have no fight left in me. Not for me at least.
I'm still eating for Dad. He's the reason I am doing this.
ED hates it. He is jealous because he isn't the most important man in my life, but he is pretty far up there. He tells me it's not worth it anymore. He tells me that Dad doesn't care if I get fat or if I'm uncomfortable. He says he just wants me to get over this shit because it is causing him too many problems.
ED makes me feel so guilty for putting this problem on him and everyone else.
But he tells me to keep doing it so I can get the worry and care that I wouldn't get
if I was recovered. ED seems so right.
Why would people still worry about me and care about me if I wasn't dying?
It makes sense.
I don't want to fall back into the invisible bubble where I felt I was before.
It's like I'd rather put myself through this hell than just being "someone in the crowd."
I want to be special, and the only way I can be unique and noticed
is if I am sickly thin.
It gives me a rush of power and existence.
Although it drains me of everything in my entire being and body,
it makes me feel supernatural.
Like I am on top of the world and that I actually am a somebody.
Without that I am nothing. I am just a fat nothing.
No job, no money, no education, no friends, no beauty, nothing.
My eating disorder is all that I have right now, so I'm just going with it.
I just can't seem to fight anymore. At least not as hard as I have been. I see no point.
I will never be happy anyway. I won't be happy with ED because there is never a point of satisfaction, and I won't be happy without ED because I will feel like nothing.
It's a lose lose situation, and I just want to throw in the towel right now and say FUCK IT.
I feel so nsjnjsanjcnkjcfnasjcnfjs right now.
My mind is going up and down right and left and there is no stopping it.
My memory and concentration are fading. I don't know whats happening.
My depression has hit a high again and my ambivalence is coming on strong.
I want nothing to do with recovery today.
I feel so disgustingly fat. I am a beast, a pig, a fat cow.
That's because I AM. What I am seeing is real, and it's killing me.
I just remembered I didn't blog last night.
Me and Denise went to Newport at night just to sit on the beach and walk around.
Before we left I went to get my hair cut and colored and it felt so good.
The day went by fast but I felt so shitty and really didn't even want to go anymore.
All I wanted to do was cut and exercise and I couldn't those things if I wasn't home.
I put on a fake happy face and dealt with it, I didn't need Denise down my throat.
It was beautiful out and that was really the only good thing about the trip.
We got there and sat on the beach. I was there for 2 seconds and I already wanted to leave.
In every direction there was a girl or woman with a bathing suit.
They were everywhere.
I couldn't get them out of my sight. ED was screaming,
telling me how much smaller they are than me.
Telling me that I would be embarrassed if I was in a bathing suit, that I would be the infamous "beached whale." I told Denise that I was really triggered and she tried to talk to me telling me I was being irrational. I thought to myself "But I am not! EVERYONE is smaller than me." I told her how I was comparing myself to literally every girl of every age. Even younger girls, staring them up and down wishing I had their small frames and bodies, oh how I wished to just be small like them. It's not fair. She told me that it was really sad hearing that I compared myself to everyone and she is sad that ED is taking so much away from me. i didn't speak, I didn't say anything. I couldn't hear her after awhile, the voice started to fade away. I looked at the ocean and then looked at my dinner, listening to ED telling me to "drop" it in the sand. Or throw it away when she wasn't looking. I told her I didn't want to eat, and I really didn't. How could I? How could I even manage to stuff myself when I am already bigger than all of these people around me? The tears fell behind my sunglasses but no one knew except me and ED.
ED didn't feel bad, he told me I deserved it. I do.
I slowly ate dinner but picked at it the best I could. I felt nauseous I felt like I wanted to purge right on the beach and just say I didn't feel good. I layed on my stomach so I wouldn't have to feel all of my rolls. It didn't help. ED wouldn't go away. He made me sit every different way and feel my body. He wanted to show me how fat I was. He told me that I needed to go walking as soon as possible so it could be for a long time. I told Denise I wanted to walk. I needed to walk. I needed to exercise, something. We drove around looking for a side street to park on and we were lost. I was getting anxious looking at the clock and ED was in my mind telling me that I NEED to walk for a long time. I was getting angry. She seemed so "whatever" and carefree and all I wanted to do was power walk. We finally found a street and started walking. I ended up wearing the worst shoes and I could feel blisters forming. ED made me walk faster. "Don't say anything" he said. "Just walk faster, don't stop, push through the pain, it will be worth it, you're working off all of that gross food you just had, keep going." I wanted to cry, it hurt so bad, but I kept quiet. I didn't make a sound. We got back to the car and I had my snack. I crushed my snack up and picked at it in the dark. I couldn't bear to put another thing in my fat stomach. I was dozing in and out of sleep on the way home. The sound of the air from the window brought me into a sleeping mode. The ride took forever and all I wanted to do was get home to catch up on my exercise. I was so tired, I was so weak, but I NEEDED to do it. I wouldn't be able to function if I didn't. Doing it is the only option. We finally go home at about 11 and I went straight to my room, made sure the coast was clear, and went. My heart racing, my pulse rising, my muscles pulsing, it felt like a huge rush. I could now relax, now everything was okay. Until I looked in the mirror and was brought back down to reality. A fat girl stared back at me in the face. I tried to avoid it but it was still in my head. I went on Tumblr for a bit and chatted with a girl I met on there who I love, and I uploaded a picture of my new hair because someone asked me to. I look disgusting but whatever. I then fell into a deep sleep, waiting for the morning to come, and another dreadful day to follow.
This morning I awoke not wanting to move from my bed.
It would be so much easier. No mirror, no food, no guilt, nothing.
But that wasn't an option, I can't bring the attention to me,
I just need to go on my merry way pretending.
Today was the day that Dad and Papa were coming home. I was slightly excited but ED was mad because that is just another person to get in the way of him. He told me I better not change anything just because he would be coming up, that's not allowed.
I started my morning with breakfast and cut it down a little bit. Oops. Win for ED.
I mean I still ate, just not as much. I did okay. Could've been worse.
I went to weigh myself and I was so deathly scared of what I would see.
One part of me wanted to see a higher number so I could be relieved for my appointment,
but then the other part wanted to see the same number or a smaller one.
The store always seems to be busy with old people on Sunday mornings so that makes me even more anxious. I went to the aisle, pretended I was just looking around, and brought it to the back of the aisle where no one could see me. I quickly put it down, and stepped on. Up .4 from Friday, up .2 from my appointment. I thought to myself "Okay, this needs to happen, you need to get used to the number going up, it could be a lot worse it could be a pound but it's not, just take it as it is." I tried. I tried to just brush it off and realize that by making that increase on my own I did the right thing, and I guess I did, unless the scale was just fucking with me. Better not be. It makes me feel so guilty to see the number go up. I feel so much fatter as soon as I step off.
A rush of sadness hits me like a pile of bricks. It's the worst feeling.
I left and went to church but could barely concentrate. I wore leggings and a long shirt and I was so self conscious. ED told me how fat my thighs looked, and how everyone was going to look at them. I am most self conscious about them and my stomach, but I tried to hide my fat stomach under a baggy shirt. But of course that barely works because there is too much fat there. I never can hide it. All I wanted to do was get out of there and the time finally came. I rushed home dreading to have my snack. I felt gross, that number still flashing in my head. So much guilt and shame following it. I slowly put my snack together, sat down, and ate it slowly. Bite after bite, feeling like shards of glass going down my throat. I am so afraid to eat again. Afraid of what it will do to me. It is nothing but bad. It is doing nothing but making me fat. I don't need anymore fat on me. I was daydreaming and somehow the time flew. Denise asked me to go to the grocery store and get some things for the week. I was there forever and was so anxious I would see someone. I went as fast as I could but it wasn't fast enough. I was late for lunch and was practically going 50mph on the way home. ED was yelling, but so was Mrs. Perfectionist. She hates when I'm late, and it makes me anxious. I rushed home quickly put everything away and started making lunch. Luckily Denise was going out to mow the lawn so i would be on my own inside. Nothing to hide, I could do whatever. And that is just what I did. Well, what I normally do. I felt such a rush, I felt like such a rebel for some reason, I'm not sure why because I was doing nothing different than I usually do. I don't know. The time went by fast after that too and I was on Tumblr for awhile because I love it, and I love when people compliment me on my blog and that they love it! Makes me feel good. Anyway I ran out to another store to get something specific for Dad so he wouldn't freak when he got home, and then I came home and made some muffins for the family for the week. I made them super low calorie so i can have them for my snacks, and they are fat free. Sweet deal. Then I had dumb snack and cleaned my cats eating areas and then Dad and Papa arrived. I was so anxious, I wanted to hide. ED wanted me to hide too. I was worried about what Papa would say to me. "Would he say I look better? Will he comment on my food and when I eat and what I eat?" I was so scared. I saw Dad and it was so great to give him a hug. I missed him, although we don't communicate much. I finally saw Papa and it wasn't bad at all. But ED made me feel bad because of the fact that Papa didn't say that I looked bad or thin. I must really be that fat. It's true. I was annoyed at first because Papa just kept talking and talking and I was honestly blocking him out. I just couldn't listen. I told him about my tattoo I want because he asked what I wanted for my birthday. I wonder if he would give me money for it. I would love that. I was getting anxious as time was getting closer to dinner. I was afraid that he would sit with me or something when I ate but Denise and Dad saved me and sat outside with him. ED was mad that they were only feet away and they could see me eating, but he said I still need to do what I usually do, and I did. I almost restricted but didn't. I don't know what stopped me. I'm so anxious right now because I have walked practically every night and I am not walking tonight because Papa is here. ED is telling me that I need to exercise more now. I am debating it in my head. I don't know what to do. I am afraid I will be so much fatter tomorrow if I don't. AND I ate more today. Fuck. I DON'T KNOW. But, I did run today, but still ED says that doesn't count because it wasn't after dinner. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Fuck. I fucking hate this shit. I can't do it.
I can't believe tomorrow is August. Shit, where has the time gone?
It's my birthday month! Not like there is anything to celebrate,
just another day of shit.
Everyone is asking me what I want, and I have been saying nothing, but now I know what the best gift would be; letting me lose weight. But that is too big of a gift for anyone to give. I would be happy with that. Don't people want to make me happy? Guess not. I won't be doing anything other than what I usually do for my birthday. I am refusing to go out to eat for Dad's too. I don't want to be pressured. Fuck, We'll see when the time comes. Which is Friday.
So, it's the start of a new month and a new week tomorrow. I don't want it to start. All I am thinking about is all of the things that I DON'T want to do. Aka appointments, volunteering, and other appointments. Oh and just being forced to be social more than I am used to.
I want nothing to do with anything right now.
I have no energy, I have no life, I have nothing.
Why? Why is all of this happening? Why am I slipping again?
I mean I know I won't be perfect, but I reaaaally feel like I am falling back.
I can't say anything. I can't. I don't want the help. Plus no one can help me anyways.
I'm a fucked up mess and only I can save myself, but I don't know if I even want to.
I've been this way for awhile so I might as well stay this way right?
I deserve this. I know I do.
Fuck. Snack is in a half an hour and I want to just go to bed. My stomach is full of food that I don't need and it is wearing on me. I can't do this all over again every single day. I just want to fucking give up.
Maybe I will, maybe that's all I can do at this point.
